 Eeeee!! Today's the day! Broken Crown's gorgeous cover is live! Isn't it beautiful??? Molly from  We Got You Covered  did an amazing job!  Nobody is safe forever. The last thing Torrin wants is to ask pirates. But when tragedy strikes the Anathemans, he has no choice but to go to the people who are more likely to kill him than help. Cyprian struggles to balance being a Shadow for one king, and a spy for another. He doesn’t know how long he can keep up the façade. One thing is clear, though: he can’t slip up. Broken Crown is the second book in Chronicles of Elyndia, a clean, young adult Christian fantasy series that follows a dethroned king and his ragtag group of friends as they fight to regain their home. You can  pre-order Broken Crown here! Here is an honest review of the content you will find in Broken Crown. As a reader, I always loved to find reviews about books I was looking at that listed everything I might be concerned of. And so, as an author, I w...

 Hello, everyone! I'm doing a cover release for fellow author, Lauren!  Ahem. Drum roll please.  It's the cover absolutely beautiful?!?!😍😍😍 In a city where debts are paid in blood, it takes more than courage to survive.

 And we're back with yet another interview! This one with the fan favorite. The one and only Grumpy Cinnamon Roll Assassin.     Meeting Cyprian for an interview was a lot trickier than meeting Torrin and Briley.      For one, I had to actually convince him to show up. And then we had to find a place to meet. The Aliki cabin wouldn't work, for obvious reasons. So we settled for meeting in Zora's tavern. After hours. At night. When I should be sleeping.      I pushed through the swinging double doors. The room was dark, save for the lantern set on the bar. Chairs were stacked up on the tables after the cleaning that had taken place earlier. A pitcher of lemonade and two cups sat next to the lantern.      Cyprian perched on a bar stool, back hunched and elbows resting on the bar.      I sat down beside him. "Hello, Cyprian."     He barely spared a glance my way. Dark circles shadowed his blue eyes, and his...

 Hello everyone! We're back with another fun character interview!      The smell of fried chicken and onions lingered in the Aliki cabin when I walked in. As well as the smell of cinnamon cookies. Briley scurried from table to counter, wiping down the already spotless surfaces. Nervous cleaning. Maybe I should bring her back home with me. She'd love to tackle our messy house.     I cleared my throat. "I'm here! Ready for your interview?"     Briley looked over quickly. "Just in time. I pulled the cookies out a little bit ago, and they should be cool enough now."     My mouth watered as she pulled a thin towel off a plate full of cookies. I took a seat at the table as she carried them over and sat down. I took one and sniffed it. It smelled just like my own cinnamon cookie recipe. Hehe.      "Torrin told me about the interview you had with him." Briley crossed her arms on the table. "I hope this one will go as well as that ...

Hello, everyone! Today we have a cover reveal of Mary Shlegel's book, Son of the Shield! (Isn't the cover gorgeous?!!😍)   A kingdom at war. A diplomat desperate for peace. A defector who holds both in his hands. Diplomat Orienne Verasi has spent the last five years trying to help her homeland of Farindel end the war with its neighbor, Cytharoc, so she can finally have a life of peace. But when negotiations go badly, she despairs of the war ending. A chance encounter with her childhood friend Sorek restores her hope for a new life…or it might pull her even deeper into the war and force her to choose between everything she wants, and everything she believes. Sorek Ronarres only wanted a cause to fight for and a country to serve. Leaving Farindel to join Cytharoc was simply a quest for the purposeful life his homeland denied him. But his failed plan to end the war brands him a traitor and costs him the woman he loves, leaving him caught between a life of deadly conspiracy and cou...

 I thought I would give a few sneak peaks from my novel, Fallen King, leading up to the release of book two, Broken Crown! (And maybe, in the end, do a sneak peak for the upcoming Broken Crown👀) . . Thunder rumbled in the distance, humidity from the approaching storm making the summer heat nearly unbearable, even with the borrowed sleeveless tunic and shorts Torrin had borrowed from Raevyn. He couldn’t wait until the storm broke and finally cooled everything down just for a little bit. At least the clouds had covered the sun. And standing under a tree kept him from dying of heatstroke. “ Roscoe wanted to talk to all of us after chores?” Raevyn made a snorting sound, muffled a little as she was half under a coop. “That chicken?” Briley rolled her eyes. “That’s not nice. He’s not a chicken for not liking social situations—” “No, Bri, ‘e’s a chicken. I ‘ave scared ‘im so many times.” Torrin raised a hand to stop them, grinning a little at Raevyn’s smug tone. “He did. He wa...
